When you combine them (FSU, Clemson, UNC, Miami, NC St, VA, VA St, Louisville, Pitt, and then a reluctant ND) you can fairly easily hit the magic number of 8 to dissolve the conference. I believe that dismisses the GOR. I think there has been a building consensus amongst the ACC's top brands over the past year to do this before the 2027 ESPN renewal clause. Hence, the Magnificent 7 this past summer. It makes the top half of the conference and the media partners all content because it creates stability and value for everyone in the top half and ESPN can cut out overpaying for the bottom half of the league. It sucks to be in the bottom half for sure, but they can rebuild and become a top tier G5 with some access to the CFP and TV revenue that is more in line with their true value. [/QUOTE]
